Abstract
A lighting module comprising at least one first lighting device and one second lighting device; the first lighting device comprises a support common to at least one first light emitter generating a first light strip and at least one second light emitter generating a second light strip. The first light emitter is arranged relative to second light emitter so as to generate a zone that is unlit by the first lighting device between the first light strip and the second light strip. The at least one second lighting device generates at least one third light strip that extends in the zone that is unlit.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:

5. A front headlight for a motor vehicle comprising at least one lighting module according to claim 2 .
6. The lighting module according to claim 2 , in which said at least one second lighting device comprises a third light emitter and said at least one first lighting device comprises said first light emitter installed between said second light emitter and a fourth light emitter, said first light emitter, said second light emitter and said fourth light emitter being aligned on said support; said at least one second lighting device comprises said third light emitter being installed between a fifth light emitter and a sixth light emitter, said third light emitter, said fifth light emitter and said sixth light emitter being aligned on a frame, a light intensity emitted by both of said first light emitter and by said third light emitter being greater than a light intensity emitted by any one of the other light emitters.
7. The lighting module according to claim 6 , in which said at least one second lighting device comprises a single reflector which reflects a light beam emitted by at least one of said third light emitter, said fifth light emitter and said sixth light emitter.
8. The lighting module according to claim 1 , in which said at least one first lighting device has a first optical axis, said at least one second lighting device has a second optical axis, said first optical axis and said second optical axis crossing or overlapping to form an angle between them, said angle being a non-zero angle.
9. The lighting module according to claim 8 , in which said non-zero angle is between 0.5° and 4°.
10. The lighting module according to claim 9 , in which at least one second lighting device generates a whole number of light strips, a width of said zone that is unlit being equal to said whole number of light strips generated by said at least one second lighting device, said at least one first light emitter and said at least one second light emitter being spaced by a value corresponding to a multiple or summation of said whole number of light strips generated by said at least one second lighting device.
11. The lighting module according to claim 9 , in which said at least one second lighting device comprises a third light emitter and said at least one first lighting device comprises said first light emitter installed between said second light emitter and a fourth light emitter, said first light emitter, said second light emitter and said fourth light emitter being aligned on said support; said at least one second lighting device comprises said third light emitter being installed between a fifth light emitter and a sixth light emitter, said third light emitter, said fifth light emitter and said sixth light emitter being aligned on a frame, a light intensity emitted by at least one of said first light emitter or by said third light emitter being greater than a light intensity emitted by any one of the other light emitters.
12. The lighting module according to claim 8 , in which at least one second lighting device generates a whole number of light strips, a width of said zone that is unlit being equal to said whole number of light strips generated by said at least one second lighting device, said at least one first light emitter and said at least one second light emitter being spaced by a value corresponding to a multiple or summation of said whole number of light strips generated by said at least one second lighting device.
